    I have just bought a VGN-SR13GN from Singapore. At first, i had many troubles with hang up and BSOD, but then i found out that the memory stick (Corsair Value) which was a promotion gift from the seller was just 667MHz compared to 800MHz in my laptop. I removed it and the BSOD problems stopped.
    After that, i noticed my laptop suffered from many random hang up. Especially when i left it idle for a long time or after installing some programs.
    Anyone got the same problems ? Is there any solutions for this. I really don't want to go to Singapore again :(

    Thank you so much.

    Will do :-D

    More testing: PCMark can't pass the initalizing process, though the os is still active. I installed the newest drivers from Sony site.
